Nisus Writer Express also provides customizable tools for automatically numbering objects. The
most common form is page numbering. You will find these automatic numbering features in the
Automatic Number submenu of the Insert menu.
Headers and Footers are those parts of your document where you most often place information that
is likely to vary. These may include such items as:
• the current page of your document
• the current section of your document
• the total number of pages in the current section (or the entire document if it is all one section).
Most documents contain variables such as page numbers. Here’s where to find the variables used
in headers and footers:
• Section number
Section Number from the Automatic Number submenu of the Insert menu
• Pages in Section
Pages in Section from the Automatic Number submenu of the Insert menu
• Page number
Page Number from the Automatic Number submenu of the Insert menu
